TAKE ACTION!

What's YOUR idea for changing the paranoid nationalism that makes the current border regime so popular? If it's powerful, (and possible!- weaim to work in the realm of the practical) we will try to help it to happen, either by publicising it here, sending it out to our networks, or brainstorming it with you.


Tell us your idea/s!

There are many ways to voice your concerns on this issue - check out our links page to see what other groups across Australia are doing.


The important thing is to do something. Silence = assent.
